Bartholomaios 1 was a monk in the monastery of St Zacharias founded at Atroa by Petros 34 (St Peter of Atroa); at the time of the saint's death Bartholomaios 1 was very ill, his body was swollen and his foot was very painful; he approached the saint's body and the attendants (Barnabas 1 and Philotheos 2) washed him and anointed him with oil from the lamp burning there and he was miraculously cured; he shared their food, in breach of the monastic rules which prescribed for him bread, vegetables and water; in a dream that night he saw a man who beat him for breaking the rules and for not making his confession, and who warned him that his death was imminent; after waking he declared what had happened and ten days later he died, cured in body and in soul: Vita Petr. Atr. 89 (in Vita Petr. Atr. Retractata, pp. 137-139). The attendants were Barnabas 1 and Philotheos 2, and Petros 34 died on 1 January 837.
